Hellobee Boards

@StrawberryBee: ahhh good luck with moving!! Enlist help if you can!

@StrawberryBee: oh man! Sounds stressful! I'm not sure where you live, but it only cost us a few hundred to hire movers. It was the best decision we could have made! You should shop around!

@Boopers: I'm still feeling pretty sick every day. I've only thrown up once but at least a few times a day I have to stop and do deep breathing to keep from throwing up when waves of nausea overtake the constant mild nausea. I'm still resisting upping my diclegis dosage because I'm so freaking tired all the time already I can't handle being more tired.

My current concern is that I'm traveling for business this week and just.... ugh. It is the first time I'll ever be away from my almost 3 year old and I'm really feeling guilty going. Plus I'm just worried about how I'm going to feel on this trip. It means getting up really early Wed and flying to NYC then going straight to our NYC office and working long hours wed-fri and flying home Fri night. Plus I'm going to be working in a conference room with 5 other people. I'm worried I'm going to be too tired from the pace of things and travel. I'm worried about finding the right types of food and having it available at all times to keep the nausea at bay when I'm so busy working. I'm worried I'm going to throw up in front of them. I just want this week to be o-v-e-r and for this trip to be behind me!

@StrawberryBee: good luck with the packing and moving. Maybe your DH can enlist some friends?

@Mae: Hope this week flies by for you!

Being a FTM, I've been having fun looking online to see what we might put on a registry. Holy cow do they overprice items marketed towards "baby." I was looking at diaper backpacks and ones I liked were around $80-$100 at Target. Then I looked at just regular women's backpacks and similar quality/style were more than half that price. So silly!! I feel like we are getting take for a ride

@annem1990: get as much as you can second hand! We bought our stroller new and car seat, could easily save money by second hand crib etc especially toys and swings etc cause they really only use them for a few months. Take all the hand me downs you can get especially if people are done having kids! Then you can get rid of it when you're done.

It's been a while since I've updated appointments. Let me know whe. You have your next one and I'll try and edit this. Good luck to everyone with appointments this week!

So ladies.. I've had this pain in my ankle for the last 6 months or so... I finally got in to a sports doc today and it turns out I have a stress fracture in my foot and i've been put on non weight bearing rest for the next two weeks. I've just emailed my boss to see if I can work from home... and called my mom to see if she can do daycare drop off cause I can't imagine toddler drop off with a stroller and crutches.

I have my first appt this morning at 10! I am super anxious for this one even though it's my third. Have been feeling pretty normal just ready for the extreme exhaustion to go away!

@StrawberryBee: I got a boot, but they said still stay off it. My boss has been good and is letting me work from home for the next two weeks. But it's a major pain!

@YouGotMe: My poor DH he was already doing so much now he has to do everything! It was pretty crazy this morning trying to get her to walk down the stairs. I ended up having to carry her while hobbling down.

Appointment went well! 161 was the heart rate and all looks well thus far! Due date he gave me was 10/2 based on measurements but he kind of laughed and said based on my past history doesn't think I will make it that far.

@Banana330: sure!

Hi all! So excited to be here! Hope you don't mind me joining in a little late!

EDD: 9/22/17

First child? 2nd!

Any symptoms? nausea and tiredness are the two main symptoms this week!

Who have you told? Parents, a few close friends. Mainly keeping it quiet for a few more weeks!

Current thoughts/feelings/fears? Excited with some nervousness hanging around. We had our first appointment and us last week and everything was looking good with a nice strong heartbeat!!
I had a mc back in the fall so it's hard to shake that fear. Trying to focus on the positives and am very much looking forward to our next appointment in a few weeks!!

Y'all. i'm about to go read through all the pages i have missed! We had a great ultrasound 2 weeks ago and saw our little one at 6 weeks 2 days. I'm now 8.5 weeks preg and i have been STRUGGLING. like cannot keep meals down and total zombie mom. PLEASE share what is working for your nausea. I have taken 1 zofran and it did NOTHING for me so not even gunna take it! Due date sept 28. go back to doc on 3/6. hoping for everyone to feel better soon!!!

@Mamag511: Welcome!

Had my NT scan this morning. She managed to do it abdominally so I didn't have to take off my boot. Baby looked good and was super wiggly! NT fold measurements looked good so far and heartbeat was 160! We didn't get a good picture cause of the wiggling but we saw it flailing it's arms and legs around. Babe was measuring one day ahead so I wonder if my mid wife will go by that date.

@Banana330: @Bibliolove: congrats on the great appointments!

Location: California

EDD: 9/7

First child? Nope! #3

Any symptoms? Tired. Morning sickness.

Who have you told? Just the grandparents.

Current thoughts/feelings/fears? Got diagnosed with gestational diabetes at 10 weeks. I didn't have it with my other pregnancies. I'm a little overwhelmed with all the effort it is going to take to keep it under control for the rest of the pregnancy.

@Ms.Pineapple: welcome! How did you get diagnosed? standard blood work?
